    IMR 4759

    I wish 4759 was still available. I'm down to my last 3/4 bottle. I make it a point to stop in at every small town gun shop I pass, hoping one of these out-of-the-way stores might still have some 4759 on a back shelf. No luck so far.

    Hornady Bore Driver FTX

    It will be interesting to see how this new bullet system works. All kinds of info on the Hornady website. I contacted Hornady to see if they have any information/suggested load data for both black powder substitute and smokeless muzzleloaders.

    New Hornady Bore Driver FTX

    It will be interesting to see how this new bullet will work in a smokeless muzzleloader. The videos on the Hornady sight have a lot of information. I wonder how long it will take to get this bullet onto the dealer's shelves?

    Knight Ultralite .45 with BH 209

    For those of you who shoot this rifle and use BH 209 powder, what loads have you found to be most accurate and useful for deer hunting? Do you prefer the all plastic jacket or bare primer, and for what reason. I'm thinking about getting an Ultralite 45 cal. and am interested in finding what has...

    Another NULA.......

    Well, it's not a muzzleloader, but it has the same basic action! I was so pleased with the accuracy of my NULA muzzleloader, that I decided to order a matching .22 for the Autumn squirrel woods. When the weather breaks, I hope to get it sighted in. I already know its going to be a shooter...

    Another NULA

    This may not be the exact place for this post, but here goes anyway since I see more NULA posts here than most other sites. I have been so pleased with my NULA muzzleloader, that I decided to order one of Mel's .22 rifles on the same action. If any of you regulars have one of his .22 rifles, I'd...

    First NULA range session...

    I finally had the chance to see what my NULA was capable of. The weather was cool (59 degrees at 6:30 am), and my reworked rifle was snapping CCI primers like it was designed to do. Here's the rifle again with my replacement ramrod and spinjag: After getting the rifle on target at 50 yards...

    NULA finally fixed........

    Well, I got my rifle back from Melvin today. It now works flawlessly with both CCI and Federal primers. Both older and new lot numbers work just fine. I guess if you count the delay in getting everything right, it comes to nine months, which what I was told when I ordered the gun at the end...

    NULA won't go boom problem solved....

    I called Mel today to explain my problem of my NULA not firing. He told me that CCI had recently shipped a lot of primers that were slightly oversized. All I had to do was to find some primers with a different lot number. In the mean time, he suggested lifting the bolt ever so slightly from...

    NULA won't go boom.......

    I finally got some time to try out my NULA. Nice cool day, overcast skies. I cleaned the barrel, greased the breech plug with anti-sieze, all set to go. I put in a CCI 209 primer, pulled the trigger, nothing happened. I lifted the bolt slightly, and the gun fires all by itself. Thank...

    My NULA Ramrod "Solution"

    There has been some talk about Melvin's concerns about rifling/muzzle crown wear when using a ramrod other than the rubbery one he supplies. I'm sure lots of you experienced shooters know this, but I added a J. Dewey Delrin Muzzle Guide to my range rod. The guide was drilled for a 5/16ths rod...

    NULA bench technique

    Just curious how you other NULA owners shoot off the bench. Any one use a lead sled? A Bull's bag (four sand bags connected, two rest on the bench, the top two squeeze-hold the rifle in place)? Plain sand bags? Tight hand hold on the forend? thanks!

    NULA photos.................finally!

    Here's my NULA. I have been extremely busy in my classroom with the final month of school, but I finally found the time between school and umpiring to finally mount my scope and take some photos. The scope is a 3 X 9 Zeiss Conquest. The rifle weighs exactly 7 3/8 pounds as pictured. I...

    NULA is here!

    My NULA arrived today, and it is everything I expected. The oak leaf pattern I requested was perfect. I still can't believe it arrived in less than four months. My only complaint is the spaghetti ramrod Mel sent with the gun. I already had an aluminum rod with spin jag set up ready to go...

    A NULA Miracle, at least I think so.............

    I can't believe it! I just got a call from Melvin. He has my NULA ready to ship! I ordered the rifle at the end of December. That is less than four months! He must have done the muzzleloaders in a batch! I hope some of you other guys got the same call! Pictures to follow soon............ :D

    NULA half-way point?

    Well, here it is........ April. I ordered my NULA at the end of December, and it has been three months. Three months to go? LOL! I could only hope! Anyone talk to Melvin lately? Is he still saying 6 months up front? LOL! Yep, that's me, the eternal optimist!!!!!!! :lol:

    NULA shipped with what stuff?

    Just curious...... What type of manual/instruction book/warranty card information, etc. was shipped with your NULA? Any tools for removing the breechplug? Anyone hear any rumors about Mel switching to a different ramrod?
